Labor and Other Employment Matters Section 3.11.1 Each of the Company and each Company Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws respecting labor, employment, fair employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, workers’ compensation, occupational safety, plant closings, and wages and hours. None of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is liable for any payment to any trust or other fund or to any Governmental Entity, with respect to unemployment compensation benefits, social security or other benefits or obligations for employees (other than routine payments to be made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice). None of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party to any collective bargaining or other labor union contract applicable to persons employed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and no collective bargaining agreement or other labor union contract is being negotiated by the Company or any Company Subsidiary. There is no labor dispute, strike, slowdown or work stoppage against the Company or any Company Subsidiary pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. No labor union or similar organization has otherwise been certified to represent any persons employed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or to the Company’s knowledge has applied to represent such employees or is attempting to organize so as to represent such employees. There is no charge or complaint against the Company or any Company Subsidiary by the National Labor Relations Board or any comparable state or foreign agency pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, except where such charge or complaint would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is materially delinquent in payments to any of its employees for any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses or other direct compensation for any services performed for it. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no material controversies pending or threatened, between the Company or any Company Subsidiary and any of their current or former employees, which controversies have or could reasonably be expected to result in action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation before any Governmental Entity. To the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is in any material respect in violation of any term of any employment contract, non-disclosure agreement, non-competition agreement or any restrictive covenant to a former employer relating to the right of any such employee to be employed by the Company or such Company Subsidiary because of the nature of the business conducted or presently proposed by the Company to be conducted by it or to the use of trade secrets or proprietary information of others. To the Company’s knowledge, no executive officer or key employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary has given notice that such executive officer or key employee intends to terminate his or her employment with the Company or such Company Subsidiary.
Litigation and Other Controversies There is no litigation or governmental or arbitration proceeding or labor controversy pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their Property which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Improper and Other Payments (a) Neither the Company, any director, officer, employee thereof, nor any agent or representative of the Company nor any person acting on behalf of any of them, has made, paid or received any unlawful bribes, kickbacks or other similar payments to or from any person or authority, (b) no contributions have been made, directly or indirectly, by the Company to a domestic or foreign political party or candidate; and (c) the internal accounting controls of the Company are believed by the Company’s management to be adequate to detect any of the foregoing under current circumstances.
Impositions and Other Claims Each Borrower shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied upon it, its income and its assets and the Properties prior to delinquency, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise, subject to any rights to contest contained in the definition of Permitted Encumbrances. Each Borrower shall file or cause to be filed all federal, state and local tax returns and other reports that it or its subsidiaries are required by law to file. If any law or regulation applicable to Lender, any Note, any of the Mortgage Loan Collateral Properties or any of the Mortgages is enacted that deducts from the value of property for the purpose of taxation any Lien thereon, or imposes upon Lender the payment of the whole or any portion of the taxes or assessments or charges or Liens required by this Agreement to be paid by Borrower, or changes in any way the laws or regulations relating to the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by mortgages or security agreements or the interest of the mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to affect any of the Mortgages, the Indebtedness or Lender, then Borrower, upon demand by Lender, shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges or Liens, or reimburse Lender for any amounts paid by Lender. If in the opinion of Lender’s counsel it might be unlawful to require Borrower to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law, Lender may elect to declare all of the Indebtedness to be due and payable 90 days from the giving of written notice by Lender to Borrower.
